SpaceX Falcon 9 B1067 completes its ninth mission, landing on drone ship Just Read the Instructions.youtube.com/watch?v=VQC2xtsP97s
Autotrack attempt watchable fullscreen on Space Coast Live. A lot of cloud cover. We'll see what we get.
Minor issue picking it up as it came behind the trees, but will be a trivial fix. Then rock solid until Falcon went into the clouds.
Specifically, while waiting for the rocket to rise above the trees, the object detection class used to track the rocket after it becomes a tiny dot in the sky had a false positive on a pad light. Solution will be to not listen to detections of such class until post-staging.
Since a rocket that is a tiny dot in the sky looks the same as star or a bright light, there are inevitably a lot of false positives in this specific scenario. Right now I'm going to mitigate it by being smarter about considering whether the detection is likely to be valid.
G’morning, Falcon 9 🥱*insert “old man yells at cloud” meme here*Guess I’ll have to wait a little longer to try this comp out. Next batch of Gen 2 Starlink constellation satellites are on their way!
.@SpaceX Starlink 5-2 mission headed to space at 4:32AM EST this morning with another batch of internet satellites. Still water and a low cloud ceiling briefly refracted light; turning the pre-dawn into day. #SpaceX #Starlink
The Falcon 9 launches through the clouds on the way to deliver 56 Starlink satellites to orbit. This Falcon 9 (B1067) has now completed 9 launches and landings.📸: @RDAnglePhoto
Deployment of 56 Starlink satellites confirmed
